The DragonBox Pyra - successor of the OpenPandora

The Pyra is the vastly improved successor of the OpenPandora.A way faster CPU, 5"-HD Screen, backlit keyboard.

The Pyra revolutionises mobile computing by being the first genuinely upgradable pocketable system. The CPU and display PCBs are socketed!This means there is no need to buy a new device every few years - you can simply update it with a new CPU board or improved display when it becomes available. This makes the Pyra a lot cheaper for those who play the long game and also takes care of the environment!

* The payment for the preorder is a DOWNPAYMENT! The final payment will NOT be necessary before the device is ready to be shipped. If you'd like to pay more upfront, please add a shop voucher to your order which you can then use when the final payment is needed. The downpayment as well as the vouchers are WITHOUT VAT.

* The downpayment will be used to order the parts that are necessary for the production of the devices. This means, that it might not be possible to get a refund right away if you want one. (Normally, it is possible as the shop has funds as well, but I just thought I might warn you).

* We cannot say for sure when the delivery will happen. In case any issues occur, we rather fix them than rush things out. We think we'll be able to deliver the Pyra sometime this year though!

* Be aware that there is ALWAYS a certain risk with such crowdfunding / preorder projects. We already have working prototypes, so it's unlikely the project will fail especially as we already have enough preorders (500) to ensure that the production will go ahead. The risk shouldn't be too high, but I just wanted to point that out.

* When the preorder has been finished, you'll receive a voucher code. Please make sure you store it safely, as you will need to use it when the final order will be done.

* If you're one of the pre-preorders from last year: Please use your voucher code from then to place the preorder here. Don't worry: You're place within the queue is already fix!

* If we are in the position to offer different case colors to choose from you'll be able to select the color you want with the final order. There will DEFINITELY be a black version available.

* I want to personally thank you for your support with your preorder. I and the team have invested A LOT of time into the Pyra. Your support will help us to bring the Pyra to life!
